Shrey Bhargava, a freelance actor kana invited to Tanglin (not the MediaCorp show) but Tanglin Police Division for a cup of teh tarik.
The Teh Tarik Nice Boh?
His initial Facebook post on his experience with the audition for local film Ah Boys To Men 4 (ABTM4) had gone viral and sparked widespread debate.
A couple of netizens has filed the Police report against him.
The Police invited him over reports lodged concerning him and questioned him “the intentions behind (his) post”, among other things.
He mentioned to TODAYonline in an article: Yes, I was called by the (police) for questioning. I was informed there that there were police reports made. I was not informed for what or by whom, that was kept confidential.”
Mr Bhargava said the police told him “not to worry about anything as I had done nothing wrong”, but also advised him to “be cautious about what I post online as people may misinterpret me and my intentions to my detriment”. He was also advised to contact the police if hate speech and abusive comments against him worsen.
“The Investigation Officer and I agreed that I am absolutely against racial violence of any sort and, instead, was only seeking a healthy and productive discussion for the betterment of Singapore’s media landscape and society. Specifically, I wanted Singaporeans to engage in dialogue regarding the inclusion of minorities in the media, as well as to tackle the issue of casual racism in order to create a more inclusive and harmonious Singapore,” he said.
This incident show that even Singapore is a multiracial harmony, there is still much senstitivity there but still don’t simi sai also report police lah.
Police has better thing to do.
